Vary The ►Summer Menu.
Summer, with its, abundance of
fruit and vegetables, gives the house-
wife greater gpportunity to vary her
choice of salads. A good salad is dis-
tinctive yet it calls for no special skill.
With good materials any woman who
will follow a few simple directions
can succeed, and she can in her own
home make as attractive salads as any
that may be served elsewhere. Salad
greens should be fresh, cold, crisp,
well drained and dry. The lettuce or
other leaves should be separated,
washed and put in a container kept
for this purpose and placed in the
refrigerator or a cool place with oth-
er vegetables until using time. All
salad ingredients should be thorough-
ly chilled. There is nothing more
unappetizing than a warm salad. Care
should be taken not to make the sal-
ad too elaborate. Have the selection.
simple, colorful, and appealing to the
eye.
It is most annoying to carefully
prepare a fresh fruit salad and then
have the ingredients turn brown, due
to exposure to the air. This condition
can be easily overcome by mixing the
fruit with an acid -such as grapefruit
or lemon juice. Grapefruit segments
and juice may be added to the salad
or liquid alone may be spooned ove,
the mixture. Here are some sugges-
tions for quickly and easily prepared
meals for the hot days, and some re-
cipes that will give your family the
needed energy without taking it all

Collection Of Leaves
Interesting Hobby'
People' who are interested in the
foliage of trees and shrubs will know
that about the middle of this, month
is the best time to make collections
of fully -grown leaves with the colour:
and texture still unspoilt by the at-
tacks of insects, :fungous and the
elements.
These collections of leaves may be
quite readily preserved if placed be-
tween two pieces of ordinary newspa-
per and this between some absorbent
material, such as blotting -paper; this
newspaper and blotting -paper thus
forming the dryers. Place these dry-
ers between two pieces of board, and
upon the .top a weight, which may be
composed of building -bricks or large
stones; this with the dryers, forms
a crude, but quite efficient plant
press. Theleaves may be removed
from this press when they are quite
dry, or in about twenty-four hours
after they have been put in. If, how-
ever, they should still be damp,
change the damp newspapers for dry,
ones; in any case leave the material
in the 'press until it is quite dry. .If
the press can be placed on a radiator
or in a "slow" oven, it will not be
necessary tochange the newspapers.
If a second collection of brilliantly -
coloured autumn leaves is desired to
mingle with these green leaves pres-
sed in June; the best time to collect
them is between September 15th and
October 16th when, the following a-
mongst others, will have assumed
their autumn tints.
Soft or Silver Maple green leaves
will become approximately crimson
or mottled—Red Maple, light and
dark crimson, also black -Sugar Ma-
ple, vermillion, pink and russet--Tar-
tarian Maple (with the small leaves),
crimson, pink and white—Burberry,
crimson Grapes, mottled - - Birch,
bright yellow - Sumach, crimson,
shaded to orange—Smoke Bush, car-
mine—Elder, mauve—Hawthorn, yel-
low—Chokecherry, brilliant crimson,
shading to orange—Wild Cherry, ma-
roon—Elm, yellow —Witch -hazel, or-
ange—Sweet Viburnum rich maroon.
It is anticipated that Botanical
Notes for September will deal with
the collection, preservation a n d
mounting of autumn -tinted leaves.
These may be classified and kept as
reference collections of botanical in-
terest, or they may be mounted and
arranged artistically in various ways
by those whose interest is aesthetic
rather than scientific.
At the Division of Botany, Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is a
collection of many species of leaves,
including the above, which have been
preserved in such a way that their
natural colours will remain permanent
almost indefinitely. This collection
may be seen at any time. Informa-
tion regarding the collection, preser-
vation and mounting of any plant ma-
terial will be gladly given.

A. -HEALTH SERVICE OF
THE CANADIAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION AND LIFE '
INSURANCE COMPANIES
IN CANADA
RURAL PUBLIC HEALTH
CONTEST
Rural Public Health has never re-
ceived enough consideration in Can-
ada. Some provinces have done bet-
ter than others. Most of the Coun-
ties in the Province of Quebec have
well -organized Health Units: In oth-
er 'Provinces
ther'Provinces theme are few full-time
Medical Officers of Health and how
can we hope to have good Public
Health work without good Public
Health. workers? The salaries paid
to full-time or part-time .Medical Of-
ficers of Health are nothing to be
proud of, either.
However, t h e Canadian Public
'Health Association, which is "living
and doing, well", is not forgetting
about the importance of Rural Pub -
lie Health.. It has arranged in co-
operation with its nearest interna-
tional neighbour,' the American Pub-
lic Health Association, to organize
an Annual Rural Health Conservation
Contest in Canada. This seems a
good idea. It is a modern idea. It
cannot do any harm and cannot very
well help doing' good. Its success de-
pends on you. This means you, who
are reading this article. The contest
will be open to all r'ur'al areas in the
Dominion of Canada which have a
full-time health service. The object
of the Contest is to encourage and
promote the development of good,
practical, satisfactory Public Health
Rural Services and keep all the peo-
ple well all the time. It is evident
that such a "ontest will help to aw-
aken interest, spread information,
and develop enthusiasm and' support
for such services—to show what they
can do and how they can do it. Pri-
zes and awards—perhaps trophies-
will be given to the winners.
The work will be under the general
directionof the Canadian Public
Health Association's Committee on
Rural Health Conservation. Further
information may be obtained by
writing to the Secretary of the Can-
adian Public Health Association, 105
Bond Street, Toronto. The first Con-
test is to beheld in the spring of
1938 and the whole matter will be
fully discussed at the Annual Meet-
ing of the Canadian Public Health
Association at Ottawa June 17-18,
1987;
The success of such a Contest de-
pends on the co-operation of every-
body concerned, perhaps most of all
on the Local Lay Committee, That
Committee should be an outstanding
one. There are "Key -men" and "Key -
women" in every rural district- far-
mers, manufacturers, business men.
The teacher will help. The postmas-
ter will help. So will the Women's
Institutes. The clergy and the doc-
tors will help. If everybody helps, we.
shall succeed. If everybody helps --
why not you?
Questions concerning health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,
will be answered personally by letter,
Production and Use Of
Canadian Flaxseed
Canada produces an excellent qual-
ity of flaxseed for all purposes, the
principal user of the seed being the
linseed oil manufacturer. In turn,
the principal consumer of raw lin-
seed oil is the paint manufacturer
who uses about 7i/ gallons of the oil
with every 100 pounds of white lead:
Boiled linseed oil, which is not really
boiled but derives: its name from the
fact that it has to be heated during
preparation, is used principally for
the quick -drying oil in paints, while
a certain type of refined ei1 is the
most important component of var-
nish. •-
Linseed oil in some form plays a
prominent part in the manufacture of
linoleum and oil cloths. Varnish oils
are used in the manufacture of pa-
tent leather for 'shoes and other pur-
poses. Carriage tops, and all kinds
of dressed leathers, are finished with
linseed oil, and thousands of gallons
are used for printers' ink in news-
papers: Smaller quantities are em-
ployed hi the manufacture of oiI silks
and oil clothing worn' by sailors and
fishermen. Over 25,000 gallons are
used annually' by the Canadian soap
industry, In addition to linseed oil,
flaxseed gives another important pro -
'duet, namely linseed meal. 1 This and
other information as to the best me-
thods of growing flax may be found
in a bulletin, entitled "The Production
of Flaxseed in Canada", which may
be obtained free on application from
the Publicity and Extension Branch,
Dominion Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa. There is, also available on
request a circular on "The Cultiva-
tion of Flax' for Fibre:"

THE LILAC HEDGE
I saw it on a night in June—
A lilac hedge ablow.
No cumb'ring ,undergrowth remained
To mar the 'boles belew.
But they with grace and pride stood
up
To make nine goodly trees,
All greenly leaved, to bear the bloom
That lured the honey bees.
A white, a mauve, ' a white, a mauve,
They alternated there.
A. viewless cloud of sweet, their scent
O'erhung the evening air.
With softest sound their beauty spoke
My heart stood still to hear;
Like strain of dainty ,melody
It fell upon the ear.
And oft, when hurly-burly days
My peace would put to flight,
I rest my heart with thoughts of these
The lilacs, mauve and white.
—Jessie Findlay Brown.
WEDDING RING
I did not think to' ever wear
My wedding ring alone,
Proud of its slender, circling gold
In meaning of its own.
I thought my mother odd that she
Forgot her other rings
At times, and looked detachedly
' Upon their colorings.
But nolo I see how tender years
A loveliness impart
To wearing of this ring alone
As pledge of hand and heart.
No symbol this of passive mood,
Or years accustoming,
But stress upon a living dream
Laid by a marriage ring.
—Amy Campbell Thornburn, in The
Chatelaine.
AFTERNOON ON A HILL
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow clown the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be nine,
And then start down!
—Edna St. Vincent Millay,
DRESS PARADE
The tulips stand so tall and straight,
Like sentries all in green;
Through wind and rain they calmly
wait , Lt1.1
The order, "Start to preen,"
Old Sol looksout, a truce is made;
Tulips blaze with color; -•
The garden holds a dress parade,
After rainy weather. -

AN ENGLISH NIGHTINGALE
Heard by Wireless in as Eastern
Garden.
June, and the hot dark,
The. firefly's flittering spark
In the scented' lilies; the smells
Fromthe dust, and the thin bells;
The insects' ceaseless skreel
That drives overhead like a wheel,
Out of the sullen air
It comes, it isdrawn to our snare; '
Magical, faint, remote,
A note ... and a broken note .
Then the perfect quavering round,
The long -drawn flicker of sound,
A sound that is almost sight,
Like the waves of a waning light,
Like a trace on the slate of the night.
0 skies that were wide and grey!
0 dusk of an English day!
—Kathleen Conyngham Greene.
GREEN SHAWL '(
I saw it in Bellagio
In a little merry shop, a silken thing,
Green, like pale leaves of earliest
spring,
With petals blown upon it and slender
sprays—
Orchid, blue as soft Italian days,
Pink as almond blossoms' glow;
And swaying fringe that must have
caught
The haze that clings to leafing olive
trees,
And every changing tint that shadows
these!
There it lay ... all shimmering, and
I,
Poverty's child, could not pass it by!
I tossed my hoarded coins—and
bought
Its April -blossomed loveliness,
And as it clung to me my spirit fled
Its timid, starving way . , . I fared,
instead,
A fluting nyinph with ichor in my
veins,
Treading paths my earth -bound soul
disdains—
A radiant, spring -green sorceress!
Little wonder that I spent my all
For that enchanting, silken shawl!
